De Lijn Flex in the province of West Flanders

In the province of West Flanders there are four major regions where flexible transport is active: Brugge Region, Kortrijk Region, Midwest Region and Westhoek Region. Where and when does the flexbus run in your region? Find out on this page.

Brugge region

Brugge region flex area

This flex area includes the municipalities of Beernem, Blankenberge, Brugge, Damme, Jabbeke, Knokke-Heist, Oostkamp, Zedelgem and Zuienkerke. The flex bus also serves several key (transfer) stops in neighboring municipalities. You can find a list of the stops where you can board the flex bus on the page for the Regio Brugge flex zone.

  • Starting July 1, 2026, Doomkerke De Zande will no longer be served by Regio Brugge’s flex transport service. The many direct trips to and from Bruges placed a very high demand on the availability of the flexbuses. From De Zande, you can still take the Regio Midwest flexbus to Beernem Station to continue your journey to Bruges via the regular line 60 or the train.

  • Starting July 1, 2026, the flex bus will run at the same times as on other days of the week. The special Friday and Saturday night service will therefore no longer operate.

The flexbus is on the road in this region on the following days and at the following times:

DayTime
from Monday to Fridayfrom 6.00 to 22.30
Saturdayfrom 8.00 to 22.30
Sundays and public holidaysfrom 9.00 to 22.30
